I had noodles today. I think it's safe to say I had them in every way implied here. I had to dump my kids at the door of an older couple who may or may not have been my inlaws. They live 30 minutes away, and I left the car running so I could get away fast after depositing the kids at their door. To have this magical six-hour grandparent would be like noodles raining from the sky to me. In every implied way.
